}A daily digest of opinions and analysisAll Things in Moderation, Including Wage Hikes As activists across the country “Fight for $15,” the results from Seattle’s wage-boosting experiment are in — and they’re not good. Megan McArdle says the city offers a case study in unintended consequences, as workers saw their earnings fall by $125 a month.
